We say this every year, but it really does feel like the past 12 months have been a blockbuster year for TV, so much so that we simply couldn't call if it would be Bodyguard, Doctor Who or Killing Eve that took the lion's share of the Digital Spy TV Reader Awards.

But it was Jed Mercurio's bombs-and-politics thriller which emerged victorious with a whopping four awards, with Doctor Who and Killing Eve close behind with three apiece.

Here are the rest of the results in full:

BBC/World Productions/Des WillieBBC

After becoming the UK's most-watched drama since current records began in 2002 (the show's finale was watched by a whopping 17.1 million people), despite the success of Killing Eve, it felt like Jed Mercurio's tense political thriller had it in the bag from the very beginning.

BBC/World Productions/Sophie Mutevelian

Maybe next year, Ben...

It's been a rocky year for Brooklyn Nine-Nine after Fox decided to scrap the show. But in an unexpected turn of events, NBC promptly picked it up, preventing hordes of angry fans taking to the streets in protest – and it looks like the police sitcom's year is well and truly ending on a high after taking home the top prize in this year's Best TV Comedy category.

Best TV Comedy Star

Winner: Jim Parsons - The Big Bang Theory

Warner Bros.

It might not have won Best TV Comedy, but The Big Bang Theory's main star, Jim Parsons, was the clear winner in this category.

However, there was a bit of excitement, with just a cough and a spit between Andy Samberg's second place for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Peter Kay for Car Share. If it had been any closer, there would have been only one thing for it: FIGHT!!!

Most Devastating TV Death

Winner:Bill - Killing Eve

BBC America

(Skip this category if you don't want to risk spoilers)

It was the death which had all of us in the Digital Spy office sobbing into our cups of tea, and it looks like we weren't the only ones. It's a clear, posthumous victory for poor old Bill and his untimely demise in Killing Eve, and rightly so too.

As for the rest, it was a closely run race throughout.

Most Evil TV Villain

Winner:Villanelle - Killing Eve

Sid Gentle Films/Nick BriggsBBC

Jodie Comer had an extensive CV under her belt before Killing Eve, but it was her role as the deliciously villainous Villanelle in one of the year's most talked about dramas that catapulted her to the next level, and sees her take the Most Evil TV Villain crown.

No-one else stood a chance.

1. Villanelle - Killing Eve: 28.3%

2. Negan - The Walking Dead: 15.9%

3. Wilson Fisk/Kingpin - Daredevil: 11%

Most Incredible TV Twist

Winner: Bodyguard - the shock death

BBC/World Productions/Sophie Mutevelian

The Haunting of Hill House was jam-packed with shocking twists and revelations, but it wasn't nearly enough to rival Bodyguard's OH MY GOD DID THAT JUST HAPPEN? NO! NO? SURELY NOT! REALLY? ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING ME? moment that shook the entire nation.

And just in case you haven't yet watched it, we're not going to tell you what went down. But trust us, you'll know exactly what we mean when you do, and you won't be able to stop reeling from it either.

Results:

1. Bodyguard - the shock death: 35.9%

Best TV Character

Winner: The Doctor - Doctor Who

BBC

It was another round of Comer vs Whittaker in the fight for Best TV Character, but it was the West Yorkshire lass who reigned supreme once again. It might be her first season as The Doctor, but it feels like Whittaker has been playing this role her entire life.

But it was always going to be a close call for second place between Villanelle and the devil himself, with just a whisker between them.

Any chance of them teaming up? We'd definitely be up for that.

Results:

1. The Doctor - Doctor Who: 23.1%

2. Villanelle - Killing Eve: 17.4%

3. Lucifer - Lucifer: 17.1%

9. Niska - Humans: 2.9%

Most Loyal TV Fanbase

Winner:Doctor Who

The Whovians showed why they are a force to be reckoned with, turning out in their droves to comfortably take the title of Most Loyal TV Fanbase by an impressive 17.2% of the vote – that's more than double the amount for Sherlock, though admittedly that's not even been on since 2017.

Try harder next time guys...

Results:

1. Doctor Who: 31.4%

2. Sherlock: 14.2%

3. Lucifer: 9.8%

Best on-screen TV pairing

Winner: Eve and Villanelle - Killing Eve

2. Julia and David - Bodyguard: 22.3%

3. Oliver and Felicity - Arrow: 11.3%

Any advert that manages to outshine John Lewis's annual Christmas ad deserves all the plaudits, and Iceland tapped into the hearts and minds of the British public with its powerful "Save Rang-tan" advert, which shines a light on the devastating impact that palm oil production is having on the rainforests of the world and in turn, the wildlife that calls that jungle-dense land home.
